Kathrin Longhurst
Kathrin Longhurst’s art draws deeply from her personal journey as a child of the Cold War, experiencing life on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Her early works are inspired by the stark contrast between war propaganda imagery and the glamorous promises of the West. By featuring ‘flying’ female warriors instead of traditional male figures of power, Longhurst reimagines war propaganda aesthetics to challenge the visual narratives imposed by patriarchal power structures. Her self-reflective approach aims to rewrite recent history, promoting a vision of a gender-equal future.
